i met mitt romney many, many times. i think because he wasn't there he felt he had to ov overcompensate. >> what is the structure aspect if in fact that is true to force him to go to that position? >> part of the aspect -- we disagree on policy but i agree the republican party has a policy problem. but it also has -- you were talking about politicians, right? it has a leadership vacuum. it needs to find some national leaders, obviously going into 2016 and beyond. but it also has a vacuum you saw on the clips we were watching when you come in where if you listen to republican talking heads and not just sort of the blow hards but serious well-respected congressm well-respected come men at a timers and so on, i should say, i was skeptical of the polls too. a week before the election i thought romney was going to win. maybe i participated in it too. >> there was an enormous amount of kool aid drinki inin ining g >> but you were not as starry eyed as some of our conservative colleagues. >> i wasn't going to name names. >> yo

why did mitt romney lose? >> he is not lose because of just a bad campaign or defects as a candidate. let's start with this fact. since 1988 there have been six presidential elections. now you look from 1968 to 1988, the republicans won five of those elections, and over the whole six, including the defeat, averaged 52.5% of the vote. so a mar jorty party from 1968 to 1988. and in a year like 2010, they do well because the electorate drops. in 2010, just to dramatize this, the republicans did great in 2010, but 35% of the voters were over the age of 60. only 15% of the voters in 2012 were older voters. >> here is what you write in the book, after the 2008 election, such calls for rethinking were shelved for the back to the basics message of the tea party. now it's time to return to the path of reform and rethink what republicans and conservatives explored in the latest bush years. what were they exploring? >> they were exploring new ideas about how to raise middle class incomes. they were exploring new ideas ab

here's mitt romney. listen to this. >> what the president, the president's campaign did was focus on certain members of his base coalition, give them extraordinary financial gifts from the government, and then work very aggressively to turn them out to vote. >> now, that's caused a lot of uproar, gifts that the president gave. i guess the implication is, was he bribing some of that coalition minorities, hispanics, young women with all sorts of "gifts?" what do you make of that? >> wolf, this is completely unhelpful. this is not where the republican party needs to go. if you want voters to like you, the first thing you've got to do is like them first. and it's certainly not helpful to tell voters that you think their votes were bought. that's certainly not a way to show them that you respect them, you like them. we need to stop talking down to voters. as a republican party we need to fight for 100% of the electorate. not 53%, not 52% but 100%. we've got to stop trying to divide people into different group

a whole lot bigger than mitt romney. as one long time republican leader told politico, the gop needs to realize it is too old, too white, too male, maybe even want to add too rich to that. this republican says the party has to figure out how to catch up with demographics of a changing u.s. before it is too late. it is well known romney lost between key voting blocks like latinos, women, in battleground states that decided the election. it might be because as cnn contributor david frum put it, the republican message is no longer relevant to middle class america. frum told msnbc it is not just that romney lost, but in the last six presidential elections, the gop lost the popular vote in five of them. frum says over a generation, a once majority party has become a nonmajority party. republican positions on issues like women's rights and immigration are big factors in the decline, and it doesn't help when you have republican congressional candidates like this more on, todd akin, making completely ignorant comments about rape
